“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

They are still but a portion of prime identity, and without them, prime identity could not know itself nor act upon itself nor develop its own abilities or potentials.

I expect then a concentrated effort to spontaneously accept impulses toward action and immediate performance of the act. [...]

Your physical senses, again, act almost like a biological alphabet, allowing you to organize and perceive certain kinds of information from which you form the events of your world and the contours of your reality.

[...] According to the specific conditions existing at the time, such an individual will to some extent or another act according to the mass suggestions he receives.

[...] And in his already weakened condition they will be accepted and acted upon.

[...] For I must tell you again that the inner self, acting spontaneously, automatically shows the discipline that you do not as yet understand.”

[...] Since her physical body was quite dead, she was in her astral body; yet she was acting confused, and her mind was still unclear, as if she still had hardening of the arteries.

[...] You were each struck by the magical ease with which you seemed, certainly, to perceive and act upon information — information that you did not even realize you possessed.

[...] The assembly-line time and the beliefs that go along with it have given you many benefits as a society, but it should not be forgotten that the entire framework was initially set up to cut down on impulses, creative thought, or any other activities that would lead to anything but the mindless repetition of one act after another (intently).

[...] So physically, and on his physical attributes alone, a man cannot use his free will to fly like a bird, or to perform physical acts for which the human body is not equipped.

[...] Otherwise your free will would have no meaning in a physical framework, for the number of choices available would be so multitudinous that you could not make up your mind to act within time. [...]

Your own intuitions may suggest acts for you to take that will be beneficial. [...]

[...] As mentioned earlier, he exaggerated the power of aggression, so that the simplest self-protective act frightened him, and resentments built up. [...]

[...] There are rituals to be acted out. [...]

[...] In your terms all acts, regardless of their seeming nature, are a part of a greater good. [...]

[...] It endows all of its parts — or its creations — with its own abilities that then act as inspiration, impetus, guiding lines and principles, by which these parts then seek to further create themselves, their own worlds and systems. [...]

[...] We hope to let you catch yourselves in the act. [...]

[...] It acts out roles, but the whole self is entire, and every individual innately knows and is intimately familiar with the intents and purposes of the whole self. [...]

However, I have said that the conscious mind is but a small portion of the whole self, and the information thus received through dreams is automatically acted upon or assimilated, regardless of conscious cognition.

It is not as important as you may think, since oftentimes you act with more wisdom automatically, and the conscious mind is extremely slow to assimilate knowledge that the intuitions know by heart.

Had you been able to act in the physical world, you could have directed your anger where it belonged, against the stupidity, and because of your calm exterior you could have helped conquer it in a faster and more efficient manner than Ruburt did. He needed your strength, and when you leave it up to him to act as the so-called tower of strength, you overtax him to some extent.

[...] You will also be able to act positively in any circumstances like those that existed the other evening.

[...] Once you understand what these are, and what effects can be expected, such journeys can be undertaken consciously, with the conscious mind that you know acting as the astronaut, for example, and the rest of your consciousness acting as the vehicle. [...]

Ruburt acts as a receiver when I speak, and so I must make certain adjustments so that my message can be channeled under conditions that involve, among other things, his nervous system and physical apparatus. [...]

[...] Oftentimes much of the material did not need to become conscious: It was “unconsciously” acted upon, turned directly into action. Now such dreams simply act as backup systems, rising to the fore whenever they are needed. [...]

[...] You perceive, in other words, only that part of an action which is projected into your own physical field, and this element you call the natural consequence of the original act.

[...] They exist as surely as they would if he acted in the same manner within the physical field. [...]

He should point out that his success so far, and his value, has been a direct result of his insistence upon following his own nature and acting upon his own ideas. [...]

[...] Finally it became so definite that it required a formal act of will on my part to prevent myself from definitely moving my hands to make sure they were not crossed upon my waist.

Even Chestnut Beads, written so long ago, published in an obscure-enough—forgive me (humorously)—pulp magazine, reaches out into time, and affects a woman’s movement that then did not exist in your terms: Ruburt’s imaginative act in writing Chestnut Beads was that concentrated.

[...] It does not conflict with the details of any given day, and yet it acts to generate overall impetus, and emotionally places Ruburt out of the house.

[...] If you believe me, then you will realize that others at best can only act as intermediaries, middlemen, and are in that respect not needed, for the energy is always available in your life. [...]

Using this analogy, your mental and emotional life forms a framework composed of such structures, and these act directly upon the cells of your physical body.

[...] They act within the framework of your time, but the condensed knowledge that they contain carries with it its own peculiar and unique consciousness, that is not bound by your physical laws.

While it might sound impossible to you, this generalized molecular consciousness, which you would call subconscious, contains within it, in condensed genetic fashion, all knowledge of the inner workings of the universe, this knowledge being acted upon and instantly accessible when it is needed.

[...] By themselves they can act to unlock additional energy, vitality, and quicken his sense of purpose.
